The federal government, Ontario and medical care insurance: A study in federal-provincial relations.

摘要

This is a history of the medical care insurance system in Ontario. I undertook this study in order to help explain a part of Canadian history that has been severely neglected. This is an historical account of the events that led to Ontariou27s acceptance of the national medical care insurance plan, and the consequent introduction of the Ontario Health Services Insurance Plan (OHSIP). After introducing OHSIP (1969) Ontario soon amended the program to the current OHIP (1972). A history of these programs would certainly be a logical extension of this study. At one time or another medical care treatment is required by everyone. For this reason it is important for society to understand its health care system, so that it can be improved for the present and future generations.
